Description

When it comes to growing your own fresh and delicious green beans, the Contender variety is a top choice. With a compact, bushy growth habit and high yield potential, these plants will provide you with an abundance of tender, flavorful pods.

One of the key features of the Contender green bean is its high resistance to common bean diseases, such as mosaic and rust. This means you can grow them with confidence, knowing that they have a strong chance of producing a healthy crop.

In terms of timing, the Contender green bean is considered an early-maturing variety, with a typical harvest time of around 55-60 days after planting. This means that you can enjoy fresh green beans from your own garden in no time!

When it comes to planting, the Contender green bean is best sown directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil, and should be spaced about 3 inches apart in rows that are 2-3 feet apart.

With proper care and attention, you can expect to harvest up to 1.5 pounds of green beans per 10 foot row of Contender plants. These green beans are great for fresh eating, canning, or freezing for future use.
